Jung Hui Wan is a 24-year-old woman who doesn't have the will to live. She lives her life as a recluse. One day, her childhood friend and first love, Kim Ram U, appears in front of her. He died 4 years ago and is now a grim reaper. When Ram U was alive, they were best friends and also had feelings for each other. Due to their own reasons, they did not tell the other person how they felt. An accident then caused Ram U's death. Now, Ram U tells Hui Wan that she has only 1 week before she dies. He continues to tell her that if she wants to die peacefully, she needs to call his name 3 times. Hui Wan, who lives a lonely life, doesn't want to separate from him again and does not call his name. Ram U gets her to make a bucket list of things to do before she dies, and they carry out her list together.

Life really goes on doesnt it? //maybe spoilers.
all along I had hoped that this won't be the ending but this hit me. it gave me a reality check, this show is truly a masterpiece. Ever since I started this I had hoped that some deity magic will happen like it happened in doom at your service but I was wrong. this was something that made me realize what death really is. This show is truly good and the acting was mindblowing. let's talk about the ending, at first I was like yeah he's gonna come back somehow with the timeskip like I saw on extraordinary you or doom at your service but this hit me very hard. you have to live on after someone dies kim ram woos mother or you could day jung hee wan's mother was living her life but still keeping her son in her heart truly made me cry. the ost and the acting is truly good. I loved kim ram woo's character so much the line "why didn't you ask me to spare you?" truly touched me. I'm still kind of sad I wanted a happy ending for them but I guess this was it I didn't want him to die tbh, no one did. I wanted him to come back desperately and live with hee wan. Atlast the writer truly did a really good job aswell as ths actors and production team.Thankyou for this masterpiece 💜

Short 6 ep drama about love, grief, and depression
At first, I gotta say I was having trouble buying into the characters. I didn't really believe Kim Min Ha was this bright mischievous cute girl. She just didn't give me that energy. So because I didn't buy into that, it didn't seem that believable that these two males liked her so much. But because it was so light in the beginning, I sort of turned a blind eye and kept watching cuz it was an easy watch.But as the story turned into grief and depression, that's where Kim Min Ha really stood out. She does serious and deep well. Her pain is so raw that it's impossible not to feel it. SO be prepared. Have a box of tissues by your side and make sure you have no important appts the next day as your eyes will be pillows of puff. As you watch Min Ha experience the emotions that come with grief ...the hollow emptiness, the self loathing and punishment, and most of all the overbearing feelings of guilt and regret, you will also see the warmth that comes with loving someone. Of how living and moving on is not just about you, but for the ones that love you. You do it for them.
While this seems like a light watch in the beginning, it def is not. It's a story about grief and healing. And while it's a short watch, it's an impactful one. Def recommend to those looking for a bittersweet cry.
